Difference between StringRay and Sterling? piezo?!

Ok well im going to probably get a 4-string StringRay 3eq...anyway i was wondering the difference between that in the sterling? I was going to get a sterling, but i played a stingray at guitar center and fell in love. i also am not familiar with a piezo pick-up (at least i think its a pick-up)...can anyone explain how it sounds or what style its good for? (i play with my fingers usually metal) Thank you all for your help!

sting ray has a precision style neck but the sterling's is jazz style. and sterling features a smaller body than sting ray.
sterling has a 3-way switch for the pick-up as same as sting ray5.
if you want a ebmm bass, sting ray,sting ray5 or sterling, you can choose one with or without piezo each of the models. and sting ray could be chose with 2band eq for a classic feeling and tone.
hope it maybe help you

Like an acoustic bass. A bit twangy and nasal, but it's not often used by itself. On a piezo equipped Sterling or Stingray, you have five knobs: volume; treble; mid; bass; blend. The last knob blends in the piezo sound with the signal from the standard magnetic pickup. Pretty versatile.

Yes, and no. My piezos don't sound nasal or twangy, at all. As long as you have an input with a high enough impedance, you'll get a nice, full sound. I run my bass through a Fishman Pro Bass II before it hits my Mesa Walkabout.
